While the JackJumpers entered the contest as the favoured side, there were still doubts given their lack of experience, while the Bullets have shown some promising signs throughout their campaign.

Both sides were coming off dramatic wins earlier in the round, and there were questions as to who could back this up a few days later. In the end, it was the JackJumpers that proved too clutch for the Bullets, sinking some big free throws late in the game and getting their 12th win of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasmania got off to the ideal, bursting out of the gates to claim an early lead. The JackJumpers were fantastic on both ends of the court, holding their opponents to a score of just 16 points in the first as they took an eight-point lead into quarter time. From here, the Bullets were able to finally get their offence back on track, pulling themselves back into the contest in the second to make it a three point game at the main break. This set up a thrilling finish where the Bullets fell just short off pulling off the comeback as the JackJumpers held on for a fantastic win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the victors, it was a number of contributors that set up the win, with four players scoring 12 points or more. <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"211\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/basketball\/player\/jack-mcveigh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack McVeigh<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"24107\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/basketball\/player\/josh-magette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Josh Magette<\/a> poured in 15 points each to lead the way, while <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"24205\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/basketball\/player\/josh-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Josh Adams<\/a> added 14 of his own as the JackJumpers shared the ball with ease.
